"If there is light in the soul,
There will be beauty in the person.
If there is beauty in the person,
There will be harmony in the house.
If there is harmony in the house,
There will be order in the nation.
If there is order in the nation,
There will be peace in the world."
~Chinese Proverb

This is my brothers first bear .They think it is one of the top 80 ever recorded. And one of the top 5 this year. Looking at him just lying there kind of makes me sad

Got in the tree stand at 6:20 am and this guy came in the dark 5 minutes later and started working some rubs and scrapes. Couldn't see him and had to just hope he was gona be there 45 minutes later when the sun came up. Well about 5 minutes before I could really see anything I could make out a big shape step out of the thick stuff and onto the trail walking away from me. The sun came up and all was quiet. I sat still and 15 minutes in to shooting light here he comes back. Stopped 4 yrds out from my tree and I dropped the string on him. Ran about 150 yds and piled up.

Main frame 8 pt with two small spurs behind the brow tines on the antler bases so I'm calling him a ten point.

yessir, nice looking buck and a good size for down in that area..........Ya'll do get some Nice Tall racks down there.....

Up Here now, well, we'd prob throw him back and let im grow up a mite

Course that thing would be a monster next to them lil baby Texas Deer ......My German shepards bigger n Most of them

My Smallest Minnesota buck was a lil 4 point that field dressed around 155...........My Last 8 pt field dressed at around 190..........Ive never seen a 10 pt that field dressed out at under 200# up around here & most run 210-225 as a general rule..........there are exceptions that top 240 and rarities that top 260 but these are few and far between........Wisconsin see's a Few more oversized deer than we do but they have a larger herd/More CORN & Less swamps to try and dig em out of also.........
